The boys played well over the weekend down in St. George. They enjoyed great weather and stiff competition. They boys ended up with a second place finish as they competed against 12 other schools from around the state.  Take a look at the results below.

If you're playing tennis this year, there is a mandatory COVID testing on Tuesday, March 9th. For tennis players, our time is 8:30. The north parking lot will be closed, so park in the south lot, enter through the doors on the west side of the old gym, and follow the hallway up to the main gym. 

This testing is for anyone who plays tennis, Varsity/JV and Practice Squad . . . if you're on the courts at all this year, you MUST test (coaches included). If you have had a positive COVID test in the past 90 days, you do not have to test but rather provide proof of positive test by sending Coach Herrud a copy of that. 

For Juniors who are testing tomorrow for the ACT, you must head directly over to the gym after you complete your ACT test at 11:30. 

Summary:

• If you play or coach tennis at AFHS, you must take a COVID test

For those who ordered shirts, they're here! You can pay for them at www.myschoolfees.com, they're $15/shirt. When paid, bring me the receipt and I'll get them to you. They're in my classroom so pick them up there.

Side note: The black shirt came in just a grey court, not the 1/2 red color like in the picture. Still looks sharp, just a heads up.

Shirts are $15/shirt and are super comfy 60/40 cotton/poly mix. Please place your order by Monday morning (the 14th) by 8:00am.
